How complex of a spreadsheet are you willing to make to support your blue deck? How do fundraisers keep tabs on their donors? Are you willing to mix stout and champagne?

Futurist, Disney aficionado and this podcaster's girlfriend Jazzmine is our fourth amateur. On this show we'll add harbinger of the Trump2K virus and aspiring Facebook script kiddie to her list of titles.

My good friend Ari is my guest this week, claiming VJing is totally the JavaScript of the club, giving me a lesson in scalability, and teaching us to keep your eyes three feet in front of you while coding like e.e. cummings. We're drinking Lagunitas Sucks, which didn't actually suck.

Akila joins us to vamp on truthiness, gifs and that amazing animated Netscape logo as we recreate the best parts of A Streetcar Named Desire.

For our first installation (woo!) I talk to Dan about the differences between Java and Javascript and we finally figure out how our Indian customers come through the workflow.
